Our Awesome Nephew

We found out today that our 16 year old nephew Cameron has Ewing Sarcoma (bone cancer). It's in his fibula and they think it may have spread. He starts Chemo in the next week or so. We are totally devastated, but have high hopes. He is such an incredible kid. He and Doug are so much alike. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. Thank you.

WE LOVE YOU CAM!!!

Hailey and Colby LOVE to color. I was really impressed with one of Hailey's recent drawings. Out of the blue she came and gave me this drawing. I love that she thought of it herself and had no help. Thought I would share this cute picture with you.

HAILEY'S 4TH BIRTHDAY

Sorry, I'm a little behind in blogging. Hailey turned 4 on the 14th. We had a little party for her the Saturday before her birthday. It was a big hit. Having 17 kids under the age of five for an 1 1/2 hrs. may have been crazy on my part...no really it was wonderful. It went off without a hitch. Of course the party had to be a princess party. The kids decorated crowns, played pin the heart on the crown and hit a pinata. At Hailey's request I made her a princess castle cake. It was a labor of love, it took me forever and it looked so amateur. Thankfully, it's not too hard to impress four year olds. Hailey looks forward to her birthday ALL year long. She is such a great girl. She is unbelievably perceptive and smart. She has a incredible heart and a contagious laugh. She loves to play and she is a great big sister. We are so blessed to have her in our family. It's hard to believe that it has been four years since she came into this world. She has been through so much and I am so grateful for her spunky/fiesty personality, it helped her survive her early months. :) Happy 4th Birthday Hailey Bird!
And ONCE AGAIN, my pictures are horizontal instead of vertical, but today has been a tough day and so I am just not going to worry about it, sorry!
